There seem to be several words in Esperanto that all correspond to the English verb to save. I can think of ŝpari, savi and konservi. In which situations should I use which ones? If you have other possible translations, please share them.

Talking of a file, then I should use domaĝi, since we normally save a file to preserve data from possible harm. Or is there another word to use?– apadernoSep 12, 2016 at 4:47

To save a file: konservi dosieron. The word domaĝi is more along the lines of "be worried about, act differently on account of": Ŝi preferis ne promeni sur la plaĝo, ĉar ŝi domaĝis siajn novajn ŝuojn. Sep 12, 2016 at 5:01
